I'm over 300 days on my form 4 now (11/22/22). I reached out to my rep and got a response in less than 24 hours from the ATF. The FBI ran my background check on 8/25 and passed the "proceed" on to the ATF. They said the application is now being passed to an examiner. I wish we had more data points for the time between FBI "proceed" and approval.

Having trouble using the site?

That looks amazing, great choice on the can and the cover
Same as me. Purchased 10/21, contacted rep a couple of weeks ago, got response last week saying background proceeded 8/24/22. Was hoping to have for the first of October so Frank and Marc won’t call me uncivilized, but not looking good.
No updates, just wanted to say it's been 131 days since I certified my first eForm 4 (OCL Hydrogen-S) on May 17, 2022... Hoping for that approved email soon.
No updates but currently sitting at:
195 days efile- TBAC Ultra 9
160 days efile- Rugged Obsidian 9 (Really 242 days since they denied my application for not being a US Citizen the first time
)
Any day now boys...

Those cocksuckers keep moving the target on me as soon as I get close. 90 days would've put me right at July 4th, I'm sitting at 178 days for a few now, so was pretty close to the 6 month wait, now they're at 7. Fuckity fuck.
I’m at 205 so don’t get too excited. You guys likely have several weeks yet
Oh I know... I just wanted to post a random day count update... Luckily I already have 5 other cans if I need to use them.

I'm at 132 days now on my first eForm 4... Dealer said they've been seeing an average of around 150 right now. So, hopefully soon, but still not holding my breath.
150 was the average, but then the AFT decided to slow way down on everything. The website now says average 6-7 months.
No, not the ATF, my dealer is saying that THEIR average days they've been seeing on approvals is 150 days right now.
I understand that but it’s the AFT that controls everything. The past doesn’t matter if the gov is slowing down on their end.
Yes, I own lots of suppressors, I’m aware.
I would be hella fucking pissed!540ish days into form 4 approval finally got an update after calling my Senator to inquire on my behalf. Apparently waiting on NICS background for over 5 months, but they couldn't tell me that in the 20 times I've called since then
Yo,That looks amazing, great choice on the can and the cover
I noticed you used to provide the Form 1 service on your site. Any chance you still do something like that for SBRing a rifle or is it strictly you will sell me my fingerprint cards and I do the forms etc?
Thanks,
Oh u have no idea, the last couple times I've called the nfa they have straight up hung up on me when I asked any question after they told me pending. "Has it been assigned to an examiner?" *hangs up* lol
We aren't processing Form 1's currently, but like you mentioned we can get your fingerprint cards taken care of for you
All of these paper form 4s right at a year has me hopeful I will get mine soon. Cashed date was 10/5.
i have a feeling that by the end of the year, paper and efile will both be 1 year processing time. i also believe this is being purposely done. i have two that were certified on march 17th. day 195 for me. i contacted my congressional rep around day 150. atf response to their office was “pending”. atf is useless, totally useless.
I'm hoping the same. Mine was cashed on the 10/26/21. Did reach out to my state rep for what its worth. We'll see what happens.
Don’t kid yourself. This thread is the hide’s own Hotel California.
Don't kid yourself, the current administration is doing everything they can to weaponize the ATF & FBI. Under Trump things got better, not so much now, I would drive there to protest but I can't afford the gas. Remember these things in November if you want things to change.
@Silencer Shop Just picked up my NomadLT yesterday. It was a bit longer than anticipated 210 days. ATF underestimated their wait times, they should have just said 6 months working towards 90 days.
Certify 3/1/2022
Notified by email 9/26/2022.
Now waiting for another I have in Silencer jail.

Hey, we're happy to hear about the approval! The Nomad LT is amazingly light for its size and the suppression is awesome. Which can is in the hopper now?
We have seen some 3/1 and 3/2 approvals SCG, hopefully, you get the good news soon. - ChaseMaybe I’m closer then, I certified eform 4 trust on 3/2/22. Still waiting
Hopefully, I have a can in purgatory that I bought 3/9/2022
Same certify date for me as well on a TBAC 338 Ultra...
3/21 here, would have been about two weeks earlier but the software kept crashing so I couldn’t certify…

I figured I’d call this morning. I didn’t have to wait on hold at all. But I’m still pending on a paper form since 11/18/21. I figured this, but this is the first time I checked on this can.
Depressing thread is depressing.
A few pages back I saw some comments on the delayed BGC’s. I was delayed once a few years ago and immediately applied for my FBI UPIN, and haven’t been delayed since. I include my UPIN on all my NFA applications now in hopes to avoid and more delays.
I haven’t done a form4 e-form yet, but probably will start a couple before the end of the year.
